Music commentary
This piece, motivated by the idea from the great composer Stockhausen, was written in 2003. In 2002, I attended the Stockhausen courses in Kuerten, Germany and enjoyed the maestro’s piece: Saxophon (für Sopransaxophon und Bongo) The sensational music by the simple instruments did impressed me a lot.

I made a formula of 12 tones and developed it through the whole piece. The oboe instrument performed the theme with its variations and dialoged with congas till the end of the piece.
